2 Kings 3
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
Torej Ahábov sin Jehorám je začel kraljevati nad Izraelom, v Samariji, v osemnajstem letu Judovega kralja Józafata in kraljeval je dvanajst let.
2 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, but not like his father and like his mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
Počel je zlo v Gospodovih očeh, toda ne kakor njegov oče in kakor njegova mati, kajti odstranil je Báalovo podobo, ki jo je naredil njegov oče.
3 Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from them.
Kljub temu se je trdno držal grehov Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma, ki je Izraela pripravil, da greši; ni odšel od njih.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he supplied the king of Israel with one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.
Moábski kralj Meša je bil lastnik ovc in je Izraelovemu kralju dajal sto tisoč jagnjet in sto tisoč ovnov, [skupaj] z volno.
5 But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Toda pripetilo se je, ko je bil Aháb mrtev, da se je moábski kralj uprl zoper Izraelovega kralja.
6 King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
Kralj Jehorám je istočasno odšel iz Samarije in preštel ves Izrael.
7 He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” He said, “I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
Odšel je in poslal k Judovemu kralju Józafatu, rekoč: »Moábski kralj se je uprl zoper mene. Ali hočeš iti z menoj v bitko zoper Moáb?« Rekel je: »Šel bom gor. Jaz sem, kakor si ti, moje ljudstvo je kakor tvoje ljudstvo in moji konji kakor tvoji konji.«
8 Then he said, “Which way shall we go up?” Jehoram answered, “The way of the wilderness of Edom.”
Rekel je: »Po kateri poti bomo šli gor?« Odgovoril je: »Po poti skozi edómsko divjino.«
9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched for seven days along a circuitous route. There was no water for the army or for the animals that followed them.
Tako so Izraelov kralj, Judov kralj in edómski kralj odšli in zaokrožili sedemdnevno potovanje in tam ni bilo vode za vojsko in živino, ki jim je sledila.
10 The king of Israel said, “Alas! For the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
Kralj Izraela je rekel: »Gorje, da je te tri kralje Gospod poklical skupaj, da jih izroči v roko Moába!«
11 But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there a prophet of the LORD here, that we may enquire of the LORD by him?” One of the king of Israel’s servants answered, “Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here.”
Toda Józafat je rekel: » Mar ni tukaj Gospodovega preroka, da bi po njem lahko poizvedel od Gospoda?« Eden izmed služabnikov Izraelovega kralja je odgovoril in rekel: »Tukaj je Šafátov sin Elizej, ki je izlival vodo na Elijeve roke.«
12 Jehoshaphat said, “The LORD’s word is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Józafat je rekel: »Z njim je Gospodova beseda.« Tako so Izraelov kralj, Józafat in edómski kralj odšli dol k njemu.
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The king of Israel said to him, “No, for the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
Elizej je rekel Izraelovemu kralju: »Kaj imam s teboj? Spravi se k prerokom svojega očeta in k prerokom svoje matere.« Izraelov kralj pa mu je rekel: »Ne, kajti Gospod je te tri kralje sklical skupaj, da jih izroči v roko Moába.«
14 Elisha said, “As the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look towards you, nor see you.
Elizej je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod nad bojevniki, pred katerim stojim, zagotovo, če se ne bi oziral na prisotnost Judovega kralja Józafata, ne bi pogledal proti tebi niti te ne bi videl.
15 But now bring me a musician.” When the musician played, the LORD’s hand came on him.
Toda sedaj mi privedi glasbenika, ki igra na strune.« In pripetilo se je, ko je glasbenik igral, da je nadenj prišla Gospodova roka.
16 He said, “The LORD says, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’
Rekel je: »Tako govori Gospod: ›To dolino naredite polno jarkov.‹
17 For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your other animals.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boste videli vetra niti ne boste videli dežja, vendar bo ta dolina napolnjena z vodo, da boste lahko pili, tako vi, vaše govedo in vaše živali.‹
18 This is an easy thing in the LORD’s sight. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
To pa je le majhna stvar v Gospodovih očeh. Tudi Moábce bo izročil v vašo roko.
19 You shall strike every fortified city and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.’”
Udarili boste vsako utrjeno mesto in vsako izbrano mesto in posekali vsako dobro drevo in zamašili vse vodnjake in vsak dober kraj dežele oškodovali s kamni.«
20 In the morning, about the time of offering the sacrifice, behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
Pripetilo se je zjutraj, ko je bila darovana jedilna daritev, glej, da je prišla voda po poti iz Edóma in dežela je bila napolnjena z vodo.
21 Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armour, young and old, and stood on the border.
Ko so vsi Moábci slišali, da so prišli gor kralji, da se bojujejo zoper njih, so zbrali vse, ki so si bili zmožni nadeti bojno opremo in starejše in so se razpostavili na meji.
22 They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood.
Vstali so zgodaj zjutraj in sonce je sijalo na vodo in Moábci so vodo na drugi strani videli tako rdečo kakor kri.
23 They said, “This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the plunder!”
Rekli so: »To je kri. Kralji so zagotovo umorjeni in so udarili drug drugega. Sedaj torej Moáb, k plenu.«
24 When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land attacking the Moabites.
Ko pa so prišli k taboru Izraelcev, so se Izraelci dvignili in udarili Moábce, tako da so le-ti pred njimi pobegnili. Toda šli so naprej in pobijali Moábce, celo v njihovi deželi.
25 They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone, and filled it. They also stopped all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth all they left was its stones; however the men armed with slings went around it and attacked it.
Podirali so mesta in na vsak dober kos dežele je vsak mož vrgel svoj kamen in napolnili so jo in zamašili so vse vodnjake in podrli vsa dobra drevesa, samo v Kir Heresu so pustili njegovo kamenje, vendar so okrog njega šli pračarji in ga udarili.
26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew a sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.
Ko je moábski kralj videl, da je bila bitka zanj prehuda, je s seboj vzel sedemsto mož, ki so izdirali meče, da se prebijejo k edómskemu kralju. Toda niso mogli.
27 Then he took his oldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
Potem je vzel svojega najstarejšega sina, ki naj bi zakraljeval namesto njega in ga na obzidju daroval v žgalno daritev. In tam je bilo veliko ogorčenje zoper Izrael in odšli so od njega in se vrnili k svoji lastni deželi.
